USB tether using wifi connection on Iphone

I've been doing USB tether with iphone connecting to home wifi so that the data transfer using wifi to save my data plan for over 2 years and now it is gone with just with a network reset on iphone yesterday. I've done network reset for few times previously but it didn't effect the way of data transfer using home wifi on iphone while USB tethering. Any idea why is this happened and why the network reset of iOS 7.0.3 changed the priority of the wifi towards 3G?

Why my ipad 4th gen doesnt update apps using wifi connection instead works on 3G?

MY ipad 4th gen is updating apps only using 3g connection whereas my wifi is working fine with chrome and other softwares, but it doesnt update softwares using wifi connection whic. Is unlimited data for me.

The WiFi only iPad does not have a GPS chip and does location through WiFi routers. Tethering to your iPhone will allow you to use the GPS chip on it and utilize Apple and Google Maps.

Why can't i use wifi on my iphone 4s after i downloaded IOS7

why can't i use wifi on my iphone 4s after i downloaded IOS7?
thankful for answer!

Well, there are probably dozens of possible answers based on the nature of the problem, so a little more information would be useful.
Is the WiFi switch greyed out? If so, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
Is the problem with only one network? If so, reboot the router by removing all power from it for about 30 seconds. Even if other devices still work on that router (the router and iPhone may have gotten out of sync on the time remaining on the iPhone's IP address lease).
If the WiFi switch is not greyed out, but the phone doesn't find any networks, go to Settings/General/Reset - Reset network settings.
If that fails, go to Settings/General/Reset - Reset All settings.
And if the problem is not described in this message please provide more information.

Poor WiFi connection with iPhone 4 (iOS 4.2)

Hello,
I am regularly testing my internet download speed on my iPhone using Ookla's app 'Speed Test'. It used to be up to 8-17 Mbps. But since a few months it only runs on about 1-2 Mbps!?
I did not change my provider nor did my provider decrease the rate. The rate tested from my MacBook Pro is 32 Mbps.
Since I use a MacBook Pro (10/2008), another MacBook Pro (8/2006), an Apple TV and an iPhone 4 I have to set my AirPort Extreme to 802.11n (b/g compatible). I set teh channel manually to 12 since the Apple TV could not deal with automatic channel selection?! The Apple TV's connection speed is also very poor.
So does anyone have tips how I can improve the WiFi connection speed for my iPhone and Apple TV?
Thanks & best regards,
Manfred

Use the advice in this thread to investigate the signal and noise levels that each device sees:

With that information you can begin to understand the problem.

Tether via wifi connection?

Can I tether my Blackberry Bold to my laptop for internet access using only my phone’s wifi connection at work and no T-mobile signal?

You can't do that. Sorry.

N80 sync using wifi connection?

Currently sync is only possible using the following means - BT, USB, Infrared, Serial Cable. Given that phones like the N80 have wifi, it would have been natural to support sync using Wifi adhoc connection. Any idea when this will be offered?

I solved it, with a search of this community.
Connect your iDevice to your Computer's iTunes 10.5 using USB
Click your iDevice on the left panel in iTunes
Scroll down till you see the 'Options' section
Tick the option that shows 'Sync Over Wi-Fi Connection'
Click 'Apply'.
You should be good to go. Go to the Options menu on your iDevice and
navigate to the Wifi Sync option. The Sync button should be enabled.
This worked for me.

Anyone loosing wifi connection with iPhone 5?

Anyone having wifi issues? I use to be able to go any where in my house.
wwithout loosing my wifi connection. Now it keeps loosing connection and
changing over to 4G. Very frustrating because I do not have the unlimited data:(
I don't think it is my router but not 100% sure. I would appreciate any ideas that
may help me get my wifi back to the way it was. Thanks!!

Yes! I just ordered a Wireless USB adapter to try.
We have 33000 sq ft home and in upstairs master is where
It goes to G4 when we try to connect to website.
I'm thinking this might work. We have the wireless router
In the basement that's is 3 levels down from master bedroom.
We will try putting the router on 2nd floor and see if that helps
After we get the adapter.
Thanks for your help:)

Poor battery life and WiFi connectivity on iPhone 5s

I have bought a new iPhone 5s 16GB running iOS 8.1.2 3 days ago. The device that I have got has a poor battery life and WiFi connectivity. I have tried lots of methods given on the internet like turned off the auto-brightness, reset the phone to default settings.
Then contacted the Apple Care for battery issue. They asked for the diagnostics to check the problem. They said its happening because of the crash of inbuilt app Springboard asked me to try "Set up as new iPhone". Even after doing all these, I am still getting battery not more than 4 hours.
This is not expected from Apple. Such an awful experience on my first iPhone buying.

Where exactly did you buy this new 5S?

Updated to 5.1 this weekend and lost wifi connectivity on iPhone 4 and Ipad 2

This weekend I updated my iPhone 4 (AT&T) and iPad 2 (Verizon 3G, wifi) to 5.1. Since the update (went flawlessly), I have been unable to connect to wifi networks anywhere. All that I get is the continuously running circle that shows it is trying to connect (but never actually does). I have RESET all Network connections numerous times, did the 'Forget this' connection on everything, etc. They will no longer connect to places that I have always connected to (Home network, CLE Airport, Hilton, Work, etc...). I can connect to all networks fine with my laptop and blackberry, but I just get the constant connection circle with my iPhone and iPad 2. Can anyone offer any other advise?
I have tried:
1. Reboot (Soft)
2. Reboot (Hard (Home and Power button)
3. Forget WiFi connection
4. Reset Network Connections
5. Tried 6 different Wireless (wifi) networks that I have always been able to connect to with no luck.
6. Airplane Mode with wifi on...
7. Turned 3G off...
Desperately awaiting some assistance, I do not have cell connections in our facilities or the hotel, so basically have a useless device right now!

I have the same problem with my Ipad 2 16gb WiFi, I bought it in US on march (I don´t live in US) I returned to my country and updated the IOS to 5.1.
One week ago the wifi signal dissapeared, I get the continuously running circle that shows it is trying to connect too.
I tried to reset it, to restart it, I even erase all content and settings but the problem continues.
As you can imagine an Ipad without internet connection is useless, I have opened a case in Apple Technical Support.
All I want to do is to return it
The question is if It will be possible to replace it or change it by other apple product. I will go to US again next month.

How do i get a wifi connection between iphone and iMac?

I downloaded the app "CityMaps2Go". Some of the maps I need are bigger than 20MB and Apple doesn't allow to download that amount over a regular 3G telephone connection. "CityMaps2Go" is asking me to connect via Wifi to download bigger maps. But I have no Wifi right now here at home available. My iMac runs with DSL6000 from Deutsche Telekom (High Speed Internet). Even tough my router has WLAN available, it is not konfigured for Apple hardware (I guess, never worked) But the Internet connection for my iMac is very fast, so no problem there. Here my question: While my iMac is online and connected, can I somehow connect my iphone via wifi to my iMac, so I can download those bigger maps from "CityMaps2Go"??? Thank you!

Just download the updates via iTunes on your Mac and then sync your iPhone to update them.
You cannot simply create a Wi-Fi connection between your computer and your iPhone, you must have a Wi-Fi router or access point to connect to.

Nokia Messaging wont use WiFi-Connection

Im using version 9.6.0.12 of Nokia Messaging for emails on my N96 in german. The phone firmware is version 30.101.
Now the problem is: Ive configured my default access point so that every application first checks if there is one of my known WLANs in range, and if not, uses UMTS to connect to the web.
This works fine with most apps... but Nokia Messaging just ignores it and always establishes a UMTS connection when Ive set its access point to "Default".
I can force Nokia Messaging to use WiFi when I go to "settings -> general -> service info -> access point" and choose one of my WLANs there (instead of "Default"). But it is very impractical to change this setting every time I move to another location.
Is this a bug or is there some way to fix it?

I have the same problem in my x6-00, although i can live without messaging, have all my email accounts configured and use them manually with wifi.
However, the problem is that the lonely planet and michelin guides in the ovi maps use nokia messaging when you click on an email link from there, and it therefore does not work, it says "Email account hasn't been set up yet".
Also, the nokia search does not work correctly if I use nokia messaging results, because it is not set up. This is very annoying because nokia search is great and I would like to use it to seach emails in my folders. If I don't look at search results from NM I can see results from messages (sms) and from Notes, but as soon as I try to look inside the NM results, immediately the Notes and sms messages results became blank.
Another irritating think about nokia email is that it gets all the email messages from IMAP servers, including those that have been marked for deletion or moved to a junk folder. There should be an option to ignore those.

Wifi connection to iphone fails after replacing sim card

the sim card on my iphone failed and had to be replaced. the phone works fine now EXCEPT cannot get wifi from verizon Actiontec router: says Incorrect Password. other devices (iPad, Kindle) still connect OK. please help.
Lou

Not sure if the sim card is envolved with the WIFI connections, But maybe it is.
Try deleting the connection and redefining it.

5800: Java applications do not use Wifi connection

Using my 5800 phone, Java applications (e.g. Opera Mini) always use a 3G connection despite Wifi is available.
When I moved the 3G access point to another section under 'Destinations' in my connectivity setup, so I left
only Wifi connections in my 'Internet' section, Java applications do not connect to the internet anymore.
I want to let me select preferably Wifi when available.
Other applications (Web, Google Maps) work correctly.
Any ideas on this ?
Nokia 5800
FW 30.0.011

The only java app that I had that issue with was opera mini.
Solved it by doing this:
Menu > Settings > Application Mgr. > Installed Apps. > Select "Opera Mini" > Options > Suite Settings > Access Point
I then selected my wireless router.
Soon after I decided that opera mini was more trouble than it's worth due the sites that didn't work properly and switched back to the standard browser.
The setting above should work for other java apps that don't behave too, each app retains it's own individual settings.
